Create the unit file in systemd by executing the following command:
```
sudo touch /etc/systemd/system/jamf.pki.proxy.service
```

Open the file by executing the following command:

sudo vi /etc/systemd/system/jamf.pki.proxy.service

Paste the following:

[Unit]
Description=Jamf Pro PKI Proxy
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/jamf-pki-proxy start
StandardOutput=journal
StandardError=journal
UMask= 0007
RestartSec= 10
Restart=on-failure
User=jamfpkiproxy
Group=jamfpkiproxy

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Reload systemd by executing the following command:
```
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
```

Check the status to make sure the systemd loaded successfully by executing the following command:

sudo systemctl status jamf.pki.proxy

The output should look similar to the following:

jamf.pki.proxy.service - Jamf Pro PKI ProxyLoaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/jamf.pki.proxy.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled)Active: inactive (dead)

If you would like the service to start automatically when the host boots, execute the following command:
```
sudo systemctl enable jamf.pki.proxy
```
If you would like to stop the service from starting automatically when the host boots, execute the following command:
```
sudo systemctl disable jamf.pki.proxy
```
Start the jamf.pki.proxy.service by executing the following command:
```
sudo systemctl start jamf.pki.proxy
```
To stop the service, execute the following command:
```
sudo systemctl stop jamf.pki.proxy
```
